0.09a (19961207): First public release.
	- Panel signal handling fixed
	- base_note set with C4 frequency of 130.812 Hz (actually C3)
	- GUS_VOICE_POS enabled for AWE_DEVICE (Iwai's patch)
	- Envelope fadeout (release) fixed
	- Note skip bug corrected after some shotgun debugging
	- GUS panning fixed (bypassing sequencer.h)
	- Added panning amplitude command line option
	- Added a channel pan parameter
	- Changed the XM loader to always unpack the patterns
	- S3M pan positions fixed
	- Timing variables changed to floating point - I really don't like
	  FP, maybe I've been hacking in assembly language too much
	- Added 15-instrument MOD loader
	- Added XM finetune interpolation
	- Arpeggio bug fixed: pitchbend increments between semitones is 100
	  and not 128 (why don't they use ROUND numbers?)
	- Changed period2bend to prevent lossage in higher octaves
	- Pattern loop effect implemented (running_lamer.mod plays OK)
	- Auto-detector (?) for 15-instrument MODs (option -f removed)
	- Added linear period support
	- All source files checked into RCS
